Yeah I don't see any huge advantage in using a terminal browser over a full featured browser. However, I did notice that I don't have to hide all those popup questions when I go to certain websites with troubleshooting questions.
Sometimes I just desire the reading the text without all the visual distractions that is present in our modern internet experience.
What was your experience with a terminal based linux setup? I imagine it as something extremely lightweight at the cost of convenience.
That sounds interesting. It sounds like it's modular so can be built around extensions?
I've been using nano as my editor but I feel like I'm getting to the point where I might benefit from something a little more powerful.
I'll download it later and see about learning the shortcuts at first. I have a couple other things I'm focused on right now before I get deep into learning and customizing emacs.
Having mutliple purposes in one program does seem convenient and something I would probably enjoy.
I haven't actually tried anything involving emacs yet. I'm a bit intimidated to learn something new when I'm already focused on other things at the moment.
There's only so many hours in the day to go down so many rabbit holes.
I can at least have a look at it, thanks for the suggestion.
I once saw a pickup truck drive into the shoulder of a road to intentionally murder a mother duck and her babies that were just standing there.
I'm not questioning if what she did was right or wrong but I get it. I fucking get why she did what she did.
I currently only use Busybox-Ash which comes with Alpine Linux. I've used Bash in Mint before but the only difference I've noticed between Ash and Bash is that Bash has completion.
I enjoy writing POSIX style scripts so I don't have too much motivation to switch it up.
Frogcomposband is my favourite Angband varient. There's a huge amount of classes to pick from, towns with quests and once you get a hang of it, most of the interactions can be done by the number pad.
In 2021, through a person at work I used to be friends with, I began talking to a queer girl from the UK through discord after that former friend bought her a the same game we were playing together. After the first night of us three playing together, her and I began talking.
For the next year, we talked mental health stuff and shared pet pictures with each other. After a year she came forward to tell me all the creepy shit that former friend was saying to her. I witnessed this creepy behaviour through a group video call we all had together. I saw how much it affected her and it really pissed me off. There was a bunch of stuff that happened afterwards but the end result is that we both no longer talk to the creepy weirdo anymore.
Afterwards, her and her partner both asked me to come visit them in the UK. I went and had a great time with them. They both treated me like a person, holding no unreasonable expectations from me and allowed me to just be me. Retuning home felt like I had been punched in the face. Where people labelled me and held me to those unspoken expectations.
After returning home, I looked for a therapist that worked with queer people and people who lived alternative lifestyles. During one of our first few sessions, my therapist gave me a bunch of queer meetup places to check out. It was at a halloween event that I ended up meeting another queer girl who I ended up becoming really close friends with.
Recently she invited me to a pride party at the end of pride month. I felt a bit out of place at first because I was going out with a group of lesbians but they were all welcoming, chill and accepting of me. I had such a great time that night. The more time I spend with my friend and the people I meet through her, the more I got to meet lovely and accepting people.
All I ever really wanted was to be accepted just as I am and it makes sense I could find that in queer spaces. I wish I could have found these queer spaces earlier but I have to remind myself that I've been working to undo the damage of capitalism and trauma by myself for most of my life. I could only do so much when the majority of how I treat other people today came from doing the opposite of what awful people do. If I had more examples of good people doing good things, I would have learned good habits faster.
As much as I hate the creepy weirdo that accidentally introduced me to the UK girl, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been pushed to engage with the queer community more. It would have been nice to meet wonderful people without all the traumatic experiences but it is what it is. At least now I have wonderful people in my life that love me just as I am. And they aren't afraid to let me know how much they love me.
A while ago I took the opportunity to go on a working holiday in Australia for 2 years. Somewhere in the first 1/4 of the first year I forgot my debit card's pin number. I couldn't get a new card because I'd have to go to a branch ATM to activate the card. Which was in Canada...
Fortunately I was able to use my credit card so I was able to survive the rest of my time there. As soon as I got back to Canada after my 2 years away, I went to an ATM and bam, remembered my PIN. I was able to get money. Which was great because I had my backpack stolen right before my 3 1/2 days Greyhound bus across Canada to get back home. I question how I'm still alive almost every day of my existence.
Thank you, with the people I'm going with, it'll be a lot of fun :)
I have no idea either, I was just invited out by my my friends. All I know is that it will be Shrek themed. Even the party description is vague on details. Which is fine by me. I like going into something with no expectations.
I think my friend and her partner are going to dress up as Donkey and the Dragon, another one as Shrek and myself as the gingerbread man.
Tomorrow looks like arts and crafts day before we head out for the night :)
Going to a Shrek rave with some friends. It's going to be so silly but I'm looking forward to it :)
Bonus claw
Sounds good, I'll check them out and see where I go from there :)
